[Verse 1] Nibblin' on sponge cake Watchin' the sun bake All of those tourists covered with oil Strummin' my six-string On my front porch swing Smell those shrimp They're beginnin' to boil [Chorus] Wastin’ away again in Margaritaville Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt Some people claim that there's a woman to blame But I know it's nobody's fault [Verse 2] Don't know the reason I stayed here all season Nothin' to show but this brand new tattoo But it's a real beauty A Mexican cutie How it got here I haven't a clue [Chorus] Wastin’ away again in Margaritaville Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt Some people claim that there's a woman to blame Now I think, hell, it could be my fault [Verse 3] I blew out my flip-flop Stepped on a pop top Cut my heel had to cruise on back home But there’s booze in the blender And soon it will render That frozen concoction that helps me hang on [Chorus] Wastin' away again in Margaritaville Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt Some people claim that there’s a woman to blame But I know it’s my own damn fault [Outro] Yes, and Some people claim that there’s a woman to blame And I know it’s my own damn fault
